I am Carrie Newton and will be your child’s Reading/Language Arts teacher for the 2012-2013 school year. I received my Bachelors of Art degree in middle grades 5-9 with certification in Language Arts and Social Sciences from Lindsey Wilson College.I went back to Lindsey Wilson College and received my Master’s of Education degree in 2010.I have been a member of the St. Charles family for four years! It is always exciting to share my knowledge of Language Arts with students each year.This Language Arts class is going to let your child see reading in a different light.It is a very hands-on class and we will be doing several activities to show children that reading is fun and more than just sitting at a desk and reading words from a book. I like to encourage parents to take time and read with their child or children.We still have the Accelerated Reading policy and your child will be responsible for reading and obtaining a certain amount of A.R. points every nine weeks.

Since parent/teacher contact is so important! If you need to contact me for any reason you can do so at (270) 692-4578 or by email carrie.newton@marion.kyschools.us. So, what do you say?! Ready to get this school year started?!I am and with your help we will make this a wonderful and successful year for your child!!!
